Comment 61 for bug 431812

I had this problem earlier in the karmic release cycle, and now, after using Update Manager to update to what I assume is the Release Candidate, the problem returned. I suppose that the update overwrote my grub settings, which had the i915.modeset=0 parameter added. So... is this parameter still supposed to be required? It apparently still is on my hardware at least (Dell GX60, Intel 82845G/GL). Maybe the installer/updater should set it automatically for unfortunate hardware like mine, if there is no actual fix for the problem.
